The Global Schools Forum provides millions of children in the southern hemisphere with access to education through their 55,000+ participating schools. Their goal is for all children in low- and middle- income countries to be able to realize their potential through equitable and safe access to quality education. Your support helps to give Global Schools Forum students access to free, quality arts education on CommonTime. Click here to learn more about the Global Schools Forum.
The Voices of Children Charitable Foundation began in 2015, following the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war. They exist not only to feed, shelter, and house Ukrainian children and families, but also to provide mental and social health services. They offer free therapy sessions and social events for children to make sure that young people are not left with the trauma of war. Your support helps to provide children in Voices of Children shelters access to free, quality arts education on CommonTime. Click here to learn more about Voices of Children.
